Alternative ETFs in the Hedge Fund Category

Analyst Report

This ETF looks to offer investors a way to replicate the risk-adjusted return characteristics of two hedge fund strategies. These methods include; a macro strategy and an emerging markets strategy, both using ETFs to accomplish their objectives. As stated, the fund will not invest in hedge funds but rather in exchange-traded products in order to replicate the exposure of a hedge fund strategy. Although this actively managed fund costs more than a comparable index fund, it does offer investors a much less volatile play on global markets while producing a comparable return as a world benchmark. The fund could make for a solid choice for those looking for a highly uncorrelated product that offers exposure to a wide variety of asset classes in a single ticker. Just be aware that the expenses are pretty hefty but this is one case where the active management appears to actually add value as opposed to subtract.
